jpglass38--- Most of my snakes have shipped through fedex for about $65. Yes, shipping costs matters.
Glad to see you've kept up with this craziness you started. LOL
When I was growing up, I saved up birthday and christmas money to purchase a green iguana for $129(before taxes). Go to Texas flea market and see what they are selling for now.
By the way, this has been a fun post!
